I just got it in the mail on wednesday, and i've been playing it only twice since then.
After just 5 seconds, i was stuck. "Hey, this sounds like caravan, but more playful and experimental" was my first thought.
Excellent Canterbury album! if you like Caravan, Egg and the likes, you will love this!

Univers Zero - Heresie (RIO, Chamber Rock, 1979)
 
Having a kick on UZ lately, I've played this album everyday since the beginning of this week. This is one of the darkest and most frightening albums ever made, but it's also incredibly cohesive and well put together. Brilliant musicianship and nerveshaking melodies makes this one of my favorite RIO albums. I just love playing it in the dark!

Focus 3 for me, I forgot how awesome it was.
Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?

My album of the week this week is Music from the Bilston House by Manning. An eclectic mix of Prog, Symphonic, Jazz influences and even a bit of Tull in places.

It seems I underestimated Karn Evil 9 when I first heard the 3rd Impression on a prog internet station, when I got this from my library and heard the first two impressions and then the third, I could see what all the hype was about. Brilliant, brilliant album. Except for "Benny the Bouncer", actually.


and Benny the Bouncer is meerly.... you know.. fun...  even Rembrandt had to let his hair down and get his freak on at times I"m sure... they all can't all be certified prog classics... and smart guys that they are... was a perfect intro to Karn Evil 9.  Here's some fun.. now let us bludgeon you to death hahhahahah


Seconded. A masterpiece for sure! Clap

Like in previous weeks I have more than one album of the week, but I will post about one only this time.
 
Voice Of The Seven Woods - s/t
A folk/psych adventure which is mostly instrumental and conjures up occasionally a 60's psych-rock sound surrounded by a folk entourage.
 
I suggested this for addition a while back, hope it might get approved.

With all this Zep activity this week it has really put me in the mood to listen to them and this newly remastered and expanded version of TSRTS is far superior to the original release and getting some heavy playing at the moment.
